Metro systems are excellent in major cities - Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, and Kolkata have clean, air-conditioned, affordable metro systems that bypass traffic.
Pure veg restaurants serve no meat/eggs - These establishments cater to strict vegetarians and are usually marked with a green symbol.
Carry hand sanitizer everywhere - Soap isn't always available in public restrooms, and hand sanitizer is essential before eating street food.
Inform your bank before traveling - International transactions can trigger fraud alerts, leaving you without access to funds when you need them most.
Don't start your trip in Delhi - begin elsewhere like Mumbai or Kerala
Locked gates are for security - Many accommodations lock gates at night. Inform staff if you'll return late so you're not locked out.
Purchase SIM at the airport when you arrive
Buy state-specific handicrafts in origin states - Kashmiri shawls in Kashmir, Mysore silk in Karnataka, Madhubani paintings in Bihar cost less at source.
Transit hotels near borders are economical - Rather than expensive city hotels, border town accommodations offer cheap stays between states.
Road trips reveal gradual transitions - Driving shows how culture slowly shifts rather than abrupt changes you notice flying between distant states.
Border towns offer unique experiences - Places like Siliguri (Bengal-Sikkim-Nepal junction) or Belgaum (Karnataka-Maharashtra border) have blended cultures.
